Territory.

Winthrop Sargent was born in Gloucester, Mass., on May 1, 1753, into a
family of merchant-mariners that had been influential in Gloucester since the
middle of the 17th century. He received his education at Harvard, then signed
onto one of his father's ships and traveled widely in the West Indies and
Europe. When he returned to Massachusetts, the Revolution had begun, and his
vessel was seized by the British as it entered Boston harbor. Sargent escaped
on a fishing boat and reached Gloucester safely. He immediately joined the
patriot cause.
Sargent served in the artillery for the duration of the war. He participated
in the siege of Boston, went with the American army to New York, and, until
1778, took part in most of the battles fought by Washington's army--Trenton,
Princeton, Brandywine, Monmouth. He spent the winter of 1777-1778 at Valley
Forge before he and Henry Knox, chief of artillery in the American army, were
sent to Congress to plead for more food and clothing for the troops. After
1778, Sargent worked as an aide to Major General Robert Howe, spending most of
the time on garrison duty. In 1783, Congress conferred on him the rank of major
just as he was being mustered out of the army.
Sargent's health was suffering after seven years of service, and he spent a
good part of the next three years recuperating in Gloucester. In 1786, with the
help of Henry Knox, Sargent was chosen to be one of the surveyors of the
Northwest Territory. He spent the last half of 1786 as a surveyor in Ohio,
drawing the 5th Range, but winter and the hostility of the Indians prevented
him from finishing the job. Sargent was impressed with the Ohio country, and in
1787, he became secretary of the newly formed Ohio Company, a land-speculation
organization of New England veterans and businessmen. He and the Reverend
Manasseh Cutler lobbied Congress to secure the land grant, which passed late in
1787.
Though Sargent withdrew from the Scioto River venture when it proved
embarrassing, he was one of the most active members of the Ohio Company,
selling a total of 157 shares. When Congress appointed General Arthur St. Clair
governor of the Northwest Territory, the directors of the Ohio Company helped
to get Sargent elected as secretary. Though the position was not a lucrative
one, the secretary was empowered, under a law passed by Congress in 1789, to
serve as acting governor in case of the governor's absence.
In the spring of 1788, the first settlers of the Ohio Company went west and
founded the town of Marietta. Sargent arrived a few weeks later and, within a
year or so, became a well-established member of the community. In 1789, he
married Rowena Tupper, the daughter of General Benjamin Tupper of Revolutionary
War fame. Unfortunately, Sargent's wife died in childbirth a year later, along
with the child. When Cincinnati became the seat of government in 1791, Sargent
moved to that city and built a house and garden, where he could pursue his
interest in horticulture.
However, the Indians in the Northwest Territory did not recognize the
settlers' claim on the land, and clashes between the two groups were frequent
and bloody. After Colonel John Hardin's defeat at Kekionga in October 1790,
Washington ordered St. Clair to launch another military expedition against the
Indians. Sargent was appointed adjutant-general, and it fell to him to shape
the undisciplined recruits into an effective fighting force. However, faced
with a shortage of men and supplies, the laziness and inexperience of the
recruits, friction between St. Clair and his second-in-command General Richard
Butler, and poor weather conditions, the American forces were defeated in the
Battle of the Wabash on November 4, 1791. Sargent himself was wounded
twice.
After the Wabash disaster, St. Clair traveled to Philadelphia to defend
himself against charges of incompetence, leaving Sargent as acting governor.
Sargent's responsibilities included: reorganizing the militia, providing for
defense against Indian raids, cooperating with federal military forces in the
area, and preserving law and order. He rigorously enforced the letter of the
law and passed additional legislation to deal with specific frontier problems.
As a result, his relations with the people of the territory were often
strained. He had more success in settling conflicting land claims, establishing
new counties, and setting up the basic institutions of government. When the
British evacuated Detroit after Jay's Treaty, Sargent promptly extended civil
jurisdiction to the Detroit area and established Wayne County. However, this
action angered St. Clair, who had returned to the territory and who resented
what he considered Sargent's usurpation of power.
In 1798, Sargent was appointed governor of the Mississippi Territory, and he
moved to Natchez, the seat of the territorial government. There he instituted
many of the same strict policies he had adopted in Ohio, which again angered
his constituents. His opponents launched a campaign against him, and
anti-Sargent candidates were elected to the legislature and the Council. They
objected to the harsh criminal code Sargent had implemented and accused him of
lining his own pockets with tavern and marriage license fees. In 1801,
Sargent--a Federalist--appealed to President Thomas Jefferson for
reappointment, but he was replaced by Jeffersonian William C. C. Claiborne.
That same year, Sargent published two pamphlets in his own defense,
Papers in Relation to the Official Conduct of Governour
Sargent and Political Intolerance, or the
Violence of Party Spirit; Exemplified in a Recent Removal from
Office.
Shortly after his arrival in Natchez, Sargent had married Mary McIntosh
Williams, and the couple had two sons, William Fitz-Winthrop Sargent and George
Washington Sargent. They built a house called Gloster Place on Mrs. Sargent's
plantation, and after his retirement from public office, Sargent supervised the
work of the estate. He was an influential member of the community and a leader
in the founding of the Bank of Mississippi, serving as one of its 13
superintendents for most of the rest of his life. A lifelong student of
meteorology, botany, horticulture, geology, and archaeology, Sargent was a
member of the American Philosophical Society, the American Academy of Arts and
Sciences, and the Massachusetts Historical Society. Between 1793 and 1815, he
published articles and papers on subjects such as forestry, earthquakes, and
Indian antiquities.
The Sargents lived briefly in Cambridge, Mass., from 1816 to 1818 before
returning to Natchez. When Sargent, plagued by gout, was told by his doctors
that a change of climate might bring him relief, the family made plans to move
to Philadelphia. In 1820, on a steamboat en route to New Orleans, Sargent died
suddenly of "gout of the stomach." He was 67 years old.

In a few instances, primarily in his diaries, Sargent used a cipher,
substituting letters or numbers to conceal certain passages. The diary entry
describing his feelings at the death of his wife and child, for example, is
written in cipher. Below is the key to Sargent's cipher. Following this key,
Winthrop Sargent's name would be written BD4UA6H5 CM62P4U.
